The Human Figure.

The proportions of the human figure
are six times the length of the feet.
Whether the form is slender or plump,
the rule holds good any deviation
from it is q departure from the highest
beauty in proportion. The Greeks
make all their statues according to this
rule. The face, from the highest point
of the forehead, where the hair begins,
to the chin, is one tenth of the whole
stature. The hand. from the wrist to
the middle finger. is the same. From
the top of the highest point of the FORE
head, is a seventh. If the face, from
the roots Of the hair to the chin, be di-
vided into three equal parts, the irst
division determines the place where the
eyebrows meet, ana the second the
place of the nostrils. The height, from
the feet TO the top of the head. Is the
distance from the extremity of the fin
gers when the arms are extended.

Oil on Troubled Waters.

The photographic Office Of the navy
continues to receive daily many letters
from captains of vessels as to the result
of their experience in the use Of oil to
reduce waves. Commander Bartlett
says that it liz desirable to supply all
vessels with oil for use during stormy
weather ut sea. He will not, however.
begin work on his promised treatise on
the subject until the efficacy OF the oil
treatment has been tried and reported
upon by officers of the navy. With
this end in view an effort is being made
to induce Rear Admiral Luce to is
sue the necessary orders for such tri-
al to be made by vessels of the Nor,h
Atlantic squadron. The photographic
officers believe the Rear-Admiral will
comply with their request. Several
letters received recently at the Hydro
graphic Office give encouraging ac-
counts concerning the use Of oil. Two
vessels we're enabled to lay in compare
lively calm water for twenty-four hours.
while tempest was raging about them
by the use of only twenty gallons of oil
each.

Etiquette for Mrs. Clevelan d.

Doubtless it has occurred to few Of
those who have looked with envy upon
Mrs. Cleveland's high position, and the
encomiums so constantly passed upon
her, 10 realize how much she had to
sacrifice in The innocent pleasures nat
ural to so young and handsome a wo-
man in exchange for the fleeting honors
and really laborious duties of Presi-
dents wife. Her associates must neces-
sarily be ladies much older than herself
and her partner, If she ever dances at
all, which would only be in a State
quadrille in opening some specially
grand ball, must be an elderly man of
high official station.
Mrs. Cleveand's partners at the
State dinners to be given during the
winter at the Executive Mansion are
picked out far III advance. Custom
has ordained that at the dim er given
to the Cabinet, for instance, she must
be escorted to the table by the Secreta-
ry of State.
When the Justices of the u nited
States Supreme Court are dining with
the President his wife must take the
arm of the Chief Justice in going TO The
dining groom and give him the seat on
her right.
When the Diplomatic Corps are the
special guests at dinner Mrs. Cleveland
will lead the way to the dining-room
with Mr.. Preston, the Minister from
Hayti, becaGse he is the Dean of the
Diplomatic Corps, having been here in
his present capacity since 1872, which
is live years longer than any Minister
of similar rank-i. e., Minister Pleni-
potentiary-now in the Diplomatic
body in Washington. Mr.. Preston's
wife, however, is in Europe, and SO is
the wife of the Portuguese Minister,
whose service here is next in duration
to that of Mr.. Preston and, as a
daughter meyer on State occasions takes
the place her fathers wife would have
were he married, Miss West, the Brit
ish Minister'S daughter, cannot be TAX

Many marvellous promises are made
during the time of elections. 1t is told
of Gambetta that once he went to some
agricultural department to oust a reac-

friends, and inquired about the agricul-

see about it when 1 get to Paris, prom

that the rain came down in torrents a
day or two after, and that when the re.

as much for us as Gambetta, and we'll

A Renewal of the Shocks in France

While the wife cleans the house, let
the husband clean the farm. liz vege-
table matter is left about the yard, its
rapid decay during the damp, warm
weather of spring and summer, will
poison the air aid affect the health of
the family. If left about the barn, lots
and fields, it will have like influence
on the farm animals. Hogs are doutly
liable to be injured, for they no. only
breathe the fouled air, but nest in such
litter. Farm cleaning will save loss
from disease. The litter has great val
ue as a fertilizer wten.properly applied.
The intelligent use of this manure in
sures better crops, and the farm is cap
able o. more thorough cultivation.
And then how much appearances are
improved. Make a bonfire of pieces OF
wood, brush, stumps, etc., not fit for
fuel, and give the charcoal to the swine
and the ashes to the fruit trees. Re-
member this work is not complete un-
til those stumps and stones are remov-
ed which can be taken out with reas-
enable amount of labor until the trees
about the house and IN the orchard are

from raspberries, gooseberries, ,currants,
etc until the "underbrush" is cleared

short, until the farm is clean and neat.
Conveniently enough, nearly all. or all
of this work, can be done before the

Frequent Recurrence Of
Birthday.

have just succeeded in passing an.
other birthday. 1t was not coun-
terfeit birthday, therefore / had no
trouble in passing it, 1t was the first
birthday l had seen for year, but it
looked so natural that | knew it the
minute | saw it. | have seen so
many OF them, you know, and they
have have been coming SO Internally
regular Of late, that l would know
one if | didn't see it. In the calm,
still night, when nothing can be heard
save the mercury sliding down into
the bulb OF the thermometer, my
birthday comes up the back stairs,
crawls through the keyhole, and in
less than q minute | have another
year added to my age. This has
been kept up until it has grown mo-
notonous, but what am | to do about
it?
When q man is boy, or rather be-
fore the boy becomes man, his birth
days come around so slowly that he
fears he will die of old age before he
will see the next one, and in some
cases it is a pity he doesn't. He
wants to be a man and spit tobacco
juice over the surrounding scenery,
or put his eighteen karat name on a
promissory note. He wants to be his
own boss. But too soon the day
comes when LIE would rather be boy
than Jim Cummings. You see. I've
had experience. When man hasn't
time to recover from a rough and
tumble with one birthday before an
other one grabs him and whirls him
around few times, he may well re-
mark: Here's pretty state OF
thingsl'
A birthday is something that we
have all had more or less experience
with, think. Some of US, especially
the old maid portion of US, have learn
ed how to handle it carefully and con-
ceal its blem ishes, or sequester it en-
tirely. They think old Father Time
is rather fast for one Of his age, and /
don't blame 'em. What right has he
to tumble ones birthdays together like
dice in a box until you don't know
which will come out first?
Twenty-Five or thirty years ago
these things did not weigh on my
mind as they do now. Then sat on
the fence and whistled a gladstone re-
frain as | swung a sore toe athwart
the glorious sunlight, or tried to pen
citrate two acres of unsympathetic ice
with my fertile brain. / have long
since turned my back upon the past,
but the past don't care for that. The
present, with its corns and toothaches,
engrosses large portion of my time,
and l am willing to let the past go.
III had it TO do over again, l believe
I'd be an old maid from the start; and
then l could get along without birth

Havoc By Earthquake.
Nearly Two Thousand Lives
Lost by the Disaster.
Three Hundred Persons Take Shel.
ter In Church and are Killed
by the Crumbling Walls
Entire Villages
Wrecked.

ROME, Feb. 24.-Details have been
received this morning of the results Of
the earthquake yesterday showing that
the effects were far more serious than
thought. The loss of life and destruc-
tion of property is learned to have been
terrible. The most startling news
comes from the Genoese Riviera. Over
fifteen hundred people were killed in
that district. at the village Of BAjar-
do, situated at the top of hill, num-
ber of the inhabitants took refuge in
church when the shocks were first felt.
A subsequent and greater shock demol-
ished the church, and 800 of the people
who were in it were killed. The de-
struction of property IN the sections
visited by the earthquakes was i'm
mense and widespread. Another shock
was felt at Mentone to-day. 1t was so
severe that houses were shaken. No
one was injured. Additional details
concerning the damage done by yester-
days shocks show that in some cases
villages built on the mountain sides
were toppled into the valleys. Three
railway trains have been dispatched
with food for the sufferers A number
of soldiers have also been sent to assist
them.
ROME, Feb. 23.-The reports Of the
disaster continue to arrive. The total
number of deaths reported up to the
present time is abont 1000.

serted. Fears are expressed for the
